Biography

Necrosis was born in 1985, but it was only in 1987 when it became a full-fledged band, when brothers Andy and Pepe Nacrur, from the popular outfit "Massacre", began tape-trading the demo tape "Kingdom Of Hate" along with vocalist Andrés Marchant and bass player Miguel Angel Montenegro. Necrosis, next to Pentagram, Warpath and Dorso, was then the most successful band locally and abroad.

"Kingdom of Hate" received great reviews in local and international fanzines, even in the renowned Morbid Magazine, where Kingdom of Hate charted nº19 among the 25 best demo tapes for the year 1987. Necrosis toured the country and managed to sell 1500 copies of Kingdom of Hate demo, unmatched achievement for the budding local metal scene.

Signing to Heavy Metal Maniac Records (Brazil) NECROSIS cut the 1988 album 'The Search", although by this stage the group's line up had changed to incorporate second guitarist Nataniel Infante and new bassist Rodrigo Westphal.

Toxic Records re-issued 'The Search' in 1997. NECROSIS would reform in 1999 with Andy Nacrur and Nataniel Infante being joined by new faces including ENIGMA singer Gustavo Robles, and an unknown guitarist Cesar Añasco, and ORATEGOD bassist Victor Trujillo.
